WEB 2.0 TOOLS


Please type your name under the 1 tool that you will review and post . Only one name per tool!
Your review should be placed on your section of this wiki.

Your job is to review the tool and then CREATE SOMETHING with this tool that will give your classmates an idea of how it can be used in a Reading Language Arts classroom. Your creation must be embedded onto your section of the wiki, or provide a link only if embedding is not allowed. Many times the web 2.0 tool will need a password for accessing. If that is the case, provide your user name and password so that we can see your work. If you decide to go this route make sure that your user name and password is created just for this project and is not associated with any of your private information.
It is your responsibility to learn how to use the tool! This means reading the instructions, FAQ, the help menu and if necessary, asking questions via email to the webmaster. If after taking these steps you still cannot understand how to use the tool....it would be best to select a different tool.
Sometimes the tool usage can be a tricky process so don't wait until the last minute to do it.

Directions:
After investigating the tool, create something and embed it onto your wiki
*You must also write a paragraph explaining how your tool would be used in a Reading Language Arts Classroom.
When writing the review please include the following information :
-Ease of use
-step by step process of how to use the tool
-whether or not a password is needed
-explain what you created and it's purpose in a RLA classroom
-your final recommendation discussing the pros and cons of using the tool!

Due Date for placement on your wiki page: No Later than March 28th!

PLEASE SELECT A TOOL THAT YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH.
